The tongue is able to survive in close proximity to the teeth because they are made of different types of tissues. While the teeth are calcified structures made of dentin and enamel, the tongue is composed of muscles covered by a specialized mucous membrane. This allows the tongue to move freely and withstand contact with the teeth without being damaged.
